Definitions

  • the invention relates to elevator systems applicable to the transportation of people and/or of freight. More particularly the invention relates to the giving of destination calls in an elevator system.
  • Passengers using elevators can generally give calls to elevators either in an elevator car and/or in an elevator lobby.
  • Elevator lobbies are typically provided with up/down pushbuttons, by means of which a passenger can order an elevator to the call floor and simultaneously indicate his/her travel direction. After the elevator has arrived at the call-giving floor, the passenger moves into the elevator car and indicates his/her destination floor with the pushbuttons of the car panel in the elevator car.
  • destination call systems are used in high-rise buildings, in which systems a passenger indicates his/her destination floor already before going into the elevator car.
  • a destination call-giving device is generally provided with a so-called decimal numeric keypad and a display means.
  • a passenger If a passenger is going e.g. to floor 24, he/she keys into the decimal numeric keypad first the number 2 and then the number 4.
  • the destination operating panel sends the information about the call-giving floor and about the aforementioned floor 24 to the control system of the elevator system.
  • a destination call When the call-giving device is portable, or when the system does not otherwise know from which floor a call comes, a destination call must include information about the departure floor.
  • the control system of the elevator system allocates the optimal elevator for the use of the passenger and transmits information about this to the call-giving device, on which appears e.g. the text "Elevator B". In this way the elevator system identifies to the user in response to a destination call the elevator allocated to him/her.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned problems of prior-art solutions as well as the problems disclosed in the description of the invention hereinafter. More particularly, the aim is to improve the call-giving of an elevator system.
  • some embodiments are presented wherein the giving of a destination call, and more particularly the selection of a departure floor and destination floor belonging to it, is fast and simple to perform.
  • some embodiments are presented wherein the giving of a destination call can be performed quickly and simply with a portable destination call-giving device.
  • some embodiments are presented wherein the giving of a destination call can be performed with a destination call-giving device provided with a small-sized touch-sensitive display.
  • a method according to the invention is presented for giving a destination call to the control system of an elevator system, in which method one or more departure floor-destination floor pairs are presented on the touch-sensitive display of a call-giving device having a touch-sensitive display, in which each pair identifies for the user one predetermined departure floor and one predetermined destination floor, and the departure floor-destination floor pair selected by the user is determined on the basis of a touch detected with the touch-sensitive display, and a destination call signal is sent to the control system of the elevator system, which signal identifies the departure floor and the destination floor that are according to the selection of the user.
  • a user can in this case bring about with a low number of touches the sending of a destination call, because the call-giving device receives sufficient information when the user selects one pair.
  • Selection of both the departure floor and the destination floor can thus be performed with one selection, and even with just one touch.
  • Each aforementioned pair can form a shortcut for selecting a departure floor and a destination floor with a single selection.
  • a destination call is sent to the control system of the elevator system automatically after determining a selection.
  • the information of the aforementioned one or more departure floor-destination floor pairs is recorded in the memory of a destination call-giving device.
  • the memory is preferably long-lasting in such a way that the information in question does not disappear in connection with extinguishing the destination call-giving device.
  • a plurality of the aforementioned types of departure floor-destination floor pairs are displayed, and the departure floor-destination floor pair selected by the user from the aforementioned plurality of departure floor-destination floor pairs is determined on the basis of a touch detected with the touch-sensitive display.
